NEW YORK FINE ART WEDDING & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

real beauty is the soul,

the story - beneath the skin

I see the world through a lens of light and dark, emotion and stories, love and nostalgia. These are the elements that drew me to photography and eventually to pursue my masters in art history.

It reaches across the ages and says I see you, all of you. Your messy human experience? It’s fucking beautiful. Your freckles and scars. How you laugh and love others.
Maybe you can’t always see it. But I do. From total strangers in a parking lot to my couples on
their wedding day, I fall in love with people and their stories daily.

Art connects us

ready to be my muse?

whether you're laid back, introverted, or somewhere in between...

I want you to feel so damn comfortable that your true self can come out and play.

Maybe you’re the type to kick off your shoes and dance barefoot or you love haunting old, forgotten places.

I love meeting new people who tell me the most random shit they would never tell
anyone else. I love making an impact, even if it is simply helping them see themselves through my lens. Because I can tell you that you’re beautiful all day long, but photography lets me show you.

Living and working in Upstate New York 

There are so many layers to being human, and mine are fathoms deep. On one hand, I live and breathe art, photography and stories. When I’m not working with my clients, I’m exhibiting photo series in art galleries, pursuing my masters in art history and even developing old film photos simply to peek into the past lives of strangers. My husband and I shared our first kiss in a cemetery. I’m a little dark that way, but also full of light. 

I’m the girl of good times. You’re just as likely to find me marveling in a museum as getting hammered at the bar, making new friends and definitely cussing a little. I love life and people and feel deeply. I tell way too many dirty jokes and bare all my scars. I’ve got the soul of an artist, through-and-through. 

honestly, we’re all a little mad here.

 Courtney was so wonderful to work with! Our families and the two us have all been crying happy tears looking at the photos of our wedding day. She captured all of the most special moments, and we are so grateful to have had her as our photographer. Our celebration was untraditional in format and Courtney did everything to help us through the process and capture each moment throughout our wedding. She was so accommodating and helpful! We would highly, highly recommend her to anyone hoping to commemorate any special occasion!

film photography & super 8

for the deep feelers and old souls

 In a world dominated by instant digital images, there is something beautifully imperfect about preserving memories on film. Film has an ethereal quality, capturing not just how a moment looked, but how it felt—a nostalgic echo haunting every frame. 
While my digital photography evokes those vintage, moody tones, shooting on film or recording with Super 8 is the medium that started it all. Each frame feels like the soul of a moment, forever preserved.

creative sessions

Come let your inner child, your inner artist, run wild.

The Creative Sessions are for the ones who want to step outside the box and follow their muse. From body and earth shoots, recreating a Renaissance painting, or becoming a vintage ghost by a lake, these sessions are all about creating the weird shit you love and letting your imagination run free. 
If you’re not sure what you want but know you want something different, I’ve got a million ideas waiting to come to life.
